One little word.

VIBRANCE

Hi Ali,
It is fun to learn what others are doing with their words and projects. I don't have a blog or any other public forum to display my attempts at making art but, I do sometimes play along with what I find others playing at. My word for the year, this year, is kindness. To myself, to others, in thought, deed and action.
Thanks for all your great ideas.
Kelly

Thanks, Ali, for taking the time to comment on my word! :)

Hi Ali,
thanks for letting me live my life more in the moment and thinking about myself and not only about the people around me.
I am a perfectionist inside and out, but it drains me and I need to find a balance in my energy level.And not to meddle in everyones business, even with all the best intentions!
Therefore my word for 2008 is definitely:
RELAX: become less active and more calm and happy & making rules or the control of something less severe.
I'm creating different wallpapers with these fabulous photos I've downloaded from realsimple.com. Love them, they really express my feelings connected to my 2008 word!
Thanks, Marlies

I have chosen my word for 2008, it is FLOW. I've chosen it as it can have many different meanings.

Very cool Tim. A challenge from you each month!
I have been thinking of a word...hummm I think Focus would be the word for me. LOL I am the hyper type and need to focus my energy in just one direction at a time...(Like that would truly happen, but maybe...I can certaintly slow my life down a little.) I am getting some great ideas as to what I can do with this one word...
I look forward to spending time with you each and every month! Ahhh 2008 is going to be a very GOOD year!

i've been thinking about this for a few weeks now and after reading the comments from others i finally figured out my word...BALANCE! 2008 is my year for balance in all areas of life! thanks ali!

Happy New Year!!! I want to thank you SO MUCH for your inspiration in my life! Because of my little word for 2007 "DO" I already DID so much I've never thought of before... and that made me a happy-me! 2008 will be my year of ORGANIZE which I started today... It's meant to have a positive effect on my house, body & mind, family and life and I know it will be! I'll organize alayout next week - wednesday ;) and it's already printed out huge.... thanks again!

I've decided to put my word in my blog as well as in my album I'm going to make in 2008 about Faith. It was funny today as I was out at a LSS someone had done a layout with the word Faithful. I talked to the LSS owner about choosing a word for the year. She liked that a lot.

you are truly an inspiration! thank you!

I love Lisa's work. I bought a necklace from her with my two sons name. Enjoy it.

Hi Ali -
I chose HONOR.
I lost my marriage in 2007 and this is perfect timing for me as I open myself back up to life and realize how deeply and openly I want to live.
You rock. Keep it up.

Wow Ali, you really got me thinking and doing a lot of looking inside to find a word and come to find out I really need this this year. It looks to be a really long work year and I chose breathe to remind me that is all I really have to do to get through anything life brings good and not so good if I just stop to breathe!! I also loved the jewelry and am in the process of ordering a ring as a visual reminder I can keep with me at work...thanks for the push, and thanks for sharing your ideas!! You keep me reaching!

Happy New Year Ali! I made a messy, fun canvas that will sit on my bathroom vanity for me to see every morning while I get ready for work. Posted on my blog: www.lastenson.blogspot.com
Thanks for the continued inspiration :)

hope this link works. this is my word. It did not start out to be for this, but it sure ended up there. My daughter has hijacked it, but it is a good thing for her to have in years to come. She is 5 now, but when she is older these are the things I would like for her to "be".

I took a picture of my word (live) for my 365+1 photo challenge and plan to print it large and hang it up as a reminder. Thanks, Ali, for the continual inspiration. :)

Ali,
My word for my life right now is "Enough"
I am enough
I have enough
I do enough
It's from a lady Oprah had on as a guest...it has stuck with me.
*loved the Christmas album!

I like the idea of keeping a journal...i don't have a very good track record of sticking with these sorts of things, but i'm game and up for the challenge. i'd like to see how i start to see my word - ABUNDANCE, as it evolves over the year through photos and observations. Also i plan on framing my word and placing it in plain view for all to see so it's ever present for family and friends, with the hopes that dialoge is provoked...i may have to move it around the house so as to keep it fresh and Alive. Lastly, i'm toying with the idea of taking a photo a day for a given month of the year, depicting the Abundance that is already present in my life and hence the reason for choosing the word in the first place.
Thanks for the great ideas to support us in our endevours. You Rock! and love all of the comments.
